This hotel is tucked away behind a bank of trees, on the edge of the Cotswold escarpment, between the city of Gloucester and Painswick. A former splendid Cotswold home, at Hatton Court you will feel eminently comfortable. Hatton Court is of reassuring size; neither large and impersonal, nor too small. Nothing is hurried. The reception is very much a lounge, with armchairs, magazines and open fires for those chillier days. Next door the bar is more a place to relax where you can take tea, read and talk rather than rush. The peace of the surrounding Cotswold countryside and comfortable bedrooms, some with whirlpool baths, make for a good nights sleep. Hatton Court is now a completely non-smoking hotel.
